Angelica Loskog – Immunostimulatory gene therapy for cancer

Our research focuses on developing cancer immunotherapy. We are inventing and evaluating novel therapies from preclinical research to clinical trials. We work in close contact with small biotech companies such as the Swedish based Lokon Pharma for product development.
